Several factors may affect ionisation energies:
I) the number of protons increases
II) the outer electron is further from the nucleus
III) the amount of shielding increases
IV) the number of unpaired outer electrons increases
Which factors explain the decrease in ionisation energy as Group 1 is descended?
I and II
II and III
III and IV
I, II, III and IV
